I agree with the "patchwork" theory. The Odyssey was most likely a collection of mythological stories carried on through the ages by word of mouth, Odysseus was a character made by Homer (very likely) to link all of those stories together.

My theory is that it’s a collection of stories that treated off from first hand accounts

chasing_the_sunn :

Wasn’t it a series of stories from travelers leaving Greece and needed money so they went to different ports along the Mediterranean? That’s what I was told in my college history class

sue :

What if those mythical creatures that stopped him from reaching home were not mysterious mythical creatures but a metaphor of cities or places and people that he met
